And then progress the times you swear you’ve absolutely bombed it! Dw you’re not alone, it’s such a weird phenomenon lol
Congratulations!!
I've not heard back from the VI yet so safe to assume its a PFO? 😂 I wish firms would just send out the PFOs before they start their AC/final interview process
So true! Sometimes you not progressing to the next stage is not in your hands- it can depend on the volume of applications, a detail here or there, an external factor you really can't control. Focus on giving it your best, introspect on the aspects of your performance that you can improve and control and keep moving on and hustling till you get to where you want to be. You've got this! 💪
Has anyone received any updates for NRF and Freshfields direct TC applications?
They said that you 99% secured the TC if you are invited to the final partner interview. You would have to really really screw up the interview to not get the TC
Nothing from NRF, I've found that pretty much all non-rolling law firms are taking at least a month to get back With WG or AC information after their application deadline. I think NRF's deadline was the 11th of July? So I'm not expecting to hear from them until mid-August, based on the longer waiting periods this intake.
I think it is still early days for Freshfields as I would assume at least 4 weeks as taking into account how many applications they receive which I guess will be roughly 1,000 applications I think.
Really not sure it's worth applying to Arnold & Porter considering they only have two places and one generally goes to Vac Schemers. Seems like a lot of effort to do an app with such low chances of return!?
I just got invited to an interview with Farrer & Co. There’s also a written assessment. I’d be really grateful if anyone has suggestions or insights about what those interviews are like

Congrats! Just wondering if anyone else has heard back from Farrer & Co? Wondering if I should consider the lack of an email as a PFOI just got invited to an interview with Farrer & Co.

Definitely don’t consider it a PFO yet, this is quite early and I haven’t seen anyone else mention an interview yet. I think things should be clearer in the next few days
They have just finished interviewing those who completed the vac scheme, and they continue to interview until mid August. So there is still loads of time for you to hear back. I had my interview on Monday and they said they don’t make final decisions until 25th August at the earliest!
S&M Interview! Any tips? I'm a bit nervous as I haven't done a vacation scheme yet with any firm, but I have recently completed a 5-week stint with a human rights law firm overseas.
